Gen. 5.25 187 1056 Noah was born Gen. 5.28,29 182 1558 Shem was born Gen. 5.32 with cap. 7,6 ca. 8.13 ca. 11.10 Though it is said Gen. 5.32 that Noah was 500 years old and begat Shem Ham and Japhet the meaning is not that they were all born at a birth but that then he began to beget Now that Shem was not born before two years after appears in that it is said Gen. 11.10 That Shem at one hundred years old begat Arphaxad two years after the flood And Gen. 7.6 that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came 502 1658 Arphaxad was born Gen. 11.10 100 1693 Salah was born Gen. 11.12 35 1723 Eber

Abraham was born Abraham could not be the eldest Son though he be placed first Gen. 11.26 but he was born 60 years after as appears by comparing Gen. 11.32 with c. 12.4 whereby it appears that Terah lived 200 and five years at whose death Abraham was seventy five years old which being substracted from 205. there remains 130. 130 2083 The Covenant was made with Abraham Gen. 12.4 75 2108 Isaac was

stood before Pharaoh 30 yearâ— Gen. 41 46. When Jacob came to Egypt 39 years for the seven years of plenty and two of famine were past Gen. 45.6 so as Joseph was born when Jacob was 91 years old 130 2369 Joseph died Gen. 50.26 Which is cleareâ— thus Joseph was at his fathers coming into Egypt as before 39 years Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years Gen. 47.28 so as at his father death he was 54 years that is in all 110 years Gen 50.26 Add the 17 and 54 together it maketh 71. 71 2433 Moses was born This is proved after 64 2513 Israel went up out of Egypt when Moses was 80 years old Exod. 7.7 This must be so because he lived in all but 120 years whereof 40 were spent in the wilderness Deut. 34.7 with cap. 29.5 So as from the Covenant made with Abraham to the Israelites coming up out of Egypt is 430 years according to that in Gen. 12.41 with Gal. 3.17 which proves the time between the death of Joseph to the birth of Moses to be 64 years 80 2553 The Israelites entred into Canaan under the conduct of Joshuah Josh 5.6
40 2570 Joshuah died this is proved after Othniel began now to judge Israel and continued 40 years wherein is included Israels oppression by their enemies for the Scriptures reckon the time of the

3126 Jehoash reigned alone 37 years 2 Kin. 12.1 in all 40 years But his last three years are not computed because his son Amaziah began to reign 4 years before his fathers death as appears by comparing the beginning of their reigns with their contemporaries 2 King 13.10 with 2 King 14.1 6 3163 Amaziah reigned in all 29 years 2 Kin. 14.2 but alone but 18 years for in his 18 th year the people made a conspiracy against him so as he was forced to flee from Jerusalem then they made Azariah alias Uzziah his son King who reigned 11 years in the life of his father 2 King 14.19 Herein I agree with our Annotators and Doctor Mayer contrary to the judgment of Willet Tostatus Genebrard and Functius as most agreeable to the Chronology of the reigns of the Kings of Judah and Israel Compare 2 King 14.1,19 2 King 15.2 with 2 King 13.10  3181 Azariah reigned in all 52 years 2 Kin. 15.2 that is to say 11 years in the life of his father and 41 years alone 18 3233 Jotham reigned 16 years 2 King 15.32,33 52 3249 Ahaz reigned in all 16 years but alone but 13 years 2 King 16.1 with 2 King 17.1 where it appears that Hosheah began to reign in the 12 th year of Ahaz therefore Ahaz reigned 4 years compleat after And that Hezekiah began to reign in the third year of Hoshea therefore he began to reign with his father in the 14 th of Ahaz 16 3262 Hezekiah reigned 29 years 2 King 18.2 that is to say 3 years with his father and 26 years after 13 3291 Manasses reigned 55 years 2 King 21.1 29 3346 Amon reigned 2 years 2 Kin. 21.9 55 3348 Josiah reigned 31 years 2 Kin 22.1 2 3379 Jehoahaz

reigned 3 moneths 2 King 24.8 11 339â— Zedekiah reigned 11 years 2 King 24 18.  3401 Jerusalem and the Temple destroyed 2 Kin. 25.2 c. 11 3453 Cyrus giveth a Command for the building of the Temple

Do 30 Jesus Christ was baptized â—n his thirtieth year 30 4017 33 Jesus Christ was crucified being 33 years and half old as most affirm 3-6 4021 73 Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus Vespasian in the 40 th year after Christs death 40 4061 When I haâ—… brought this Chronology from the Creation to the Decree of Cyrus I thought at first glance to make Daniels 70 weeks the golden chain of time from thence to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple but after much time spent in consulting with many Chronographers and Expositors finding no satisfaction I resolved rather to lay it aside than to beat my brains to bring forth a new Minerva which all old Midwives have failed to effect I shall therefore conclude with that advice of the Learned Dr. Vilvain of Exon in his compend of Chronography Seek not to wrest a connexion of Sacred Chronology from Daniels Vaticiny which the Holy Ghost never intended swim not against the stream nor cast dust against the wind lest it fly in thy face Thy Servant in the Lord Jesus Jo.
